The Holley Strip Dominator and Blue Thunder are about the same height.
The level version of the Blue Thunder usually fits under the later
engine screen but some have reported clearance issues with the early
style flat engine cover. I suspect there are variances in engine height
from car-to-car due to things like motor mounts and the height of the
filter element and drop base factor in. Let us know what you find.

Here are some A/B measurements I made. The measurements represent
the drop from a straight edge laid across the carb pad to the closest point
where the end rail bends inward (each end). Measurements in inches.

Blue Thunder 4 7/16 5 3/8
Edelbrock F-351 Performer 2V 3 1/2 4 3/8
Ford Boss aluminum 3 1/4 4 3/8
Offenhauser 360 4V 3 1/2 4 1/2
Weiand Xcelerator 2V 4 3/16 5 1/8
Weiand tunnel Ram 9 1/16 9 3/8
